So proud of Oliver signing his first Pro Youth Contract with
@officialdafcYA
He's come along way since starting playing football for East End Boys 2012s in 2019. In those 4 years he has shown incredible resilience when others (me) would have given up.
Hard work starts now 💪⚽️

This boy is a top talent and great news that he's staying at Rangers. 👏 Finlay loves watching him play and is a big inspiration. In Spain, 16 year olds are playing for the national team but social media here judging the boy on how young he looks. 🙈 Definitely one to watch. 🙌
🔵🔐 Rangers top prospect Alexander Smith close to agreeing first professional contract at the club valid until June 2027.
He’s elegible for USA & Scotland national teams.
Rangers fought off strong interest from PL and MLS to keep him, top priority for the board and Clement.

When Finlay plays English academies it amazes me how much coaching the boys get from their parents 🙈 Boys looking for their next instruction from their dad rather than listening to a coach or looking to get on the ball.

The amount of negative comments I and the boys receive when we talk about their academy football. Yes it has its challenges but the experiences, positive messages, encouragement from coaches and friendships the boys gain are often overlooked.
"I’m starting to grow tired of the narrative I see and hear in the media about Academies breaking hearts and ruining lives and it’s all about the 0.01%. I’m sick of that. I think it’s time we stood up for our industry."

Interesting read this about Scottish football. With boys getting scouted earlier than ever before, are q4 (not as physically developed) kids getting left behind as academies think short term rather than long term development 😕

Absolutely this. At all levels of football. Grassroots football, academy football, first team football. Getting minutes, experience on the pitch has to be the priority for all players.
It’s all about playing games, it doesn’t matter who you play for unless you are getting minutes on the pitch in games. A good lesson for young players here. ⚽️

Really interesting read this on a whole range of subjects within academy football notably importance of game time at key ages, comparing Scottish academy football to other nations and highlighting Relative Age Effect.

See it with so much of kids football with shouts from the sidelines to look for the pass (or telling them who to pass to 🙈)
No point practising 1v1s in training and then match day comes around and player decision making goes out the window.

Wish coaches particularly for younger kids at fun 4s would take note. No point practising 1v1s and dribbling in training if they are shouted at on match day to pass as soon as they receive the ball.
There are too many coaches today who want to make the decisions for their players. That is simply not development!!

👇This needs to be trialled more in Scottish football
- Gives Sep to Dec boys a chance to shine more
- Gives Jan to Jun boys a chance to test themselves against older players rather than simply playing a year up
👉 Great innovation this weekend to tackle the Relative Age Effect by changing the banding for our schoolboy players from ‘Jan to Dec’ to ‘Sep to Aug’.
Interesting to see our youngest players become the oldest.

Really interesting this but even stats like this don’t really reflect the true picture as many late maturers don’t even get selected in the first place. Late maturers have to battle to get selected in comparison to taller q1 and are often overlooked at the start.
Who makes it as an "elite" professional football player?
61% - Late Maturers
38% - Normal
11% - Early

This 👇 100%. 1v1s, 2v2s, 3v3s can be so important with player development. Watching players like
@Pedri
and
@LamineeYamal
who are technically brilliant but their biggest strength is their ability to beat their opponents in a 1v1, 2v2. 👏
The modern game has become super structured, organized, and well-coached. Teams at the highest level are much tougher to break down. 🛡️ That’s why players who can beat opponents 1v1, those with flair and creativity, are even more important today! 🌟
We’ve seen this in Euro 2024

🔑 No doubt to be playing years up you HAVE to be an early developer.
But he is also there because he’s able to impact games as he would in his own age groups.
